Ducati Recalls 2012-2013 Diavel Motorcycles Due to Side Stand Defect

Ducati is recalling 2012-2013 Diavel motorcycles because the side stand may bend or break, increasing the risk of the bike falling over and causing injury.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural component (side stand) that could cause the motorcycle to fall over, posing a risk of personal injury, but no injuries or deaths have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Ducati North America is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Diavel motorcycles manufactured between May 25, 2012, and June 28, 2012. The recall involves 27 vehicles. The defect is located in the side stand, which may bend or break in the pivot area.

If the side stand bends or breaks, the motorcycle could fall over, increasing the risk of personal injury to the operator or others nearby. Additionally, a bent side stand may interfere with the safety switch, potentially preventing the bike from starting or causing it to stall without warning.

Ducati will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the side stand free of charge. The safety recall began on August 13, 2012. Owners may contact Ducati at 1-800-231-6696 or visit www.ducati.com for more information.
